StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 366 Sleane's Claw
"Tal'darin Protoss?"

In an instant, Zeratul read the word from Augustus' surface thoughts: "They left Aiur long before the Nerazim, and we have known for a long time that Tada The existence of Lin Xingling, we know that they are fanatics who worship the departed gods, but little is known about the other parts.”

"The Revolutionary Army once met an expeditionary force of the Tadalin Protoss on a jungle planet. Their cruelty and barbarism impressed us deeply." Augustus nodded and said:

"The Tadarin protoss have red robes and black armor. They are cruel and bloodthirsty, and they are very different from Templars and Dark Templars."

"The Tadarin on Baishir once brought terrible losses to the human settlers, and we expel them only after paying a lot of sacrifices." Renault also said: "Later we found out that it was only the Tadarin protoss. Just a small branch of a huge expeditionary force."

"I can't believe that the Tal'darines have fallen so far." Zeratul said to the high-ranking templar, "It seems that the Tal'darin protoss took the colossus from the stasis facility."

"Zeratul, we humans call that stealing." Renault corrected Zeratul's statement.

"The Kel-Morian Federation army during the Guild Wars may have a lot of common language with the Tadarin Protoss. They would paint the captured Tyranid Federation power armor black and shamelessly declare that it was their own scientific research achievement."

"What are these Tasdarins doing? Don't they have their own Kalai engineers?" asked the high templar sent by Tassadar.

"Maybe." Augustus shrugged his dark gray eyebrows: "But other people's is always better than your own, isn't it?"

"You're right," Renault agreed.

"Augustus, just now Luria's Federation Executive Office has made four or five phone calls to the Marshal Command to inquire about the situation of the Juan ruins. It seems that they must have discovered something through orbiting satellites." Kerrigan said in the At this time, Augustus was pulled.

"A little noise," Augustus said immediately to Kerrigan. "Tell him I never knew I signed an agreement where I had to report everything to the CEO in Luria, or that there was a obliged to do so."

"If I want to overthrow the legal government here like I did to the Tyrann Federation, then my agents have already given the head of the local executive."

"The people in the ruling class are most afraid of us revolutionary parties." Renault laughed: "The old saying is good, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes."

At this time, all the outer walls of the stagnant facility that sealed the colossus had been peeled off, and three tower-like giant machines were standing quietly in it, just as they were when they were placed here.

Colossus.

It is taller than all the protoss mechas that humans have ever seen. The four golden slender mechanical feet like insect appendages support its main structure distributed like raindrops. The protoss warriors under it and the human engineers in the distance Compared with soldiers, they are just ants under their feet.

As the blue-white stagnant light curtain slowly descends, these war machines that were sealed up centuries ago due to destruction and killing wake up in the dazzling blue arc light emitted by the mechanical sensor lens and the Kedarin lattice, The weapon of destruction that lay dormant here returns once again.

In the harmonic sound of the intelligent system and the built-in psionic matrix, one of the colossi moved its long mechanical legs that were almost half its height across the remaining wall of the mirror chamber, easily Like a grown man stepping over an anthill in front of him.

The colossus is so tall that it looks like a moving skyscraper, and people can't help feeling afraid of this shocking behemoth.

No one would doubt the sharpness of the giant blade-like stable feet on the bottom of the Colossus's multi-terrain insectoid feet, and the many structures of its body were created for killing and destruction.

Augustus couldn't help but think that this terrifying war machine must be able to easily cross the human position. Its sharp walking legs will pierce the human blockhouse and tear open the most proud armor of human beings.

The threat of the Colossus to a human army consisting mainly of infantry cannot be ignored, and it can bring indescribable terror to the enemy simply by walking calmly on the battlefield.

"Who is manipulating them." Augustus watched the colossal statues leap over the numerous revolutionary army vehicles and equipment on the ground with ingenious and flexible steps, so dexterous that they hardly fit their huge bodies.

The three giants quickly disappeared in the rising light of the warp field, and Tassadar's phasers were warping them back into the fleet.

"They are intelligent machines. Artificial intelligence can independently judge the difference between friend and foe, accurately distinguish the commander's instructions, and unswervingly destroy every enemy it encounters." Zeratul said.

"Can't you build colossi now?" Augustus asked, looking at the high-ranking templar.

"The Supreme Council did not assign enough phase technicians to the fleet to produce new weapons before the expeditionary force set off." The high-ranking templar said: "We are more used to direct reinforcements from Al or other starry forges Troops or mechs, not cast in place."

"That's really a pity." Augustus couldn't help thinking that if they had enough colossi, even if they just sent the colossi that the Protoss Empire had cast and then sealed to the front line of Aiur, the protoss might not cannot keep their homeland. "

While talking, Tassadar in the distance came over with several high-ranking templars and the protector Zamara in white robes.As soon as he saw Augustus, Tassadar said: "I learned from Kara that the other three colossi may have fallen into the hands of the Tadarin Protoss. How much slaughter and destruction will be brought about by rational extremes using this terrible weapon of war."

"But they left long ago." Renault looked at Tassadar and said, "It's very difficult to find the lost property. Based on my understanding of the Tadarin Protoss, they will never obediently return the original item."

"But even so, we must teach these Tal'darin protoss a lesson." Tassadar was genuinely outraged that such a weapon fell into the hands of the Tal'darin protoss.

"Well, what clues and clues do you have, Executor?" Augustus asked Tassadar.

"The Dark Templar discovered a Tal'darin protoss outpost while searching for other relics left in nearby systems," Tassadar said.

"They are indeed around here." Renault's eyes lit up: "It's been a while since I have fought against the Tadarin protoss, it's time for them to learn their lesson.

"Are there any other ancient facilities here to seal the Colossus?" Augustus was more concerned about another issue. Even if the Revolutionary Army could not manipulate the Colossus, the stronger the Protoss allies, the safer they would be.

"No, Protector Zamara knows the location of all stasis facilities. In her memory, there are only two Colossus facilities in this star sector." Tassadar denied.

"Okay, we're the only ones involved." Augustus glanced at the ready-to-fist Raynor, knowing that he couldn't wait to avenge himself on the planet Baishere.

"There must be a lot of treasures they collected from other places in the stronghold of the Tadarin Protoss. I hope there will be surprises."

Braytoke Galaxy, Petra Asteroid Belt.

A belt of more than a million asteroids made of metallic polymers, rocks and ice surrounds a dark green gas giant filled with crystalline minerals that were flung into space billions of years ago. The cobalt blue light shone beneath the interstellar light, like blue pearls in the sand.

The largest asteroids moving at high speed under the action of the star's strong gravitational field are almost equal to the size of two standard Earths, while others are just tiny interstellar dust.

The edge of the asteroid belt is gilded with the brilliant brilliance of the galaxy's blue stars, a majestic sight reminiscent of the corona.

Tal'darin's outpost is located on a massive rock in the center of the asteroid belt, a volume one-third the size of Earth.Because of the many asteroids surrounding it, blocking the light from the galaxy's stars, it is often in darkness.

A black city shrouded in shadows permeates the oppressive atmosphere, and the scarlet crystals above it exude the light of death, with black spiked arcades and sky-piercing spiers winding across the surface of the rocky asteroid .On the magnificent corridor that symbolizes the road of hard work, the Taldarin dead slaves, wearing only a few gray rags to cover their vitals, are still building barracks, mansions and forging furnaces for their masters.

From time to time, a Tadarin fighter plane with a scarlet glow on its surface landed on the black metal platform surrounded by red curtain walls, and Tadarin warriors wearing black armor and holding spears or long knives stepped down from it.

At a certain moment, the red crystal above the huge Tal'darin outpost suddenly darkened, and the high-level Tal'darin ascenders on the arcade and their slaves immediately rushed to all the defense facilities, and all the muzzles flashed scarlet The isoparticle light cannons of colored light lock onto the sky in the flickering refraction.

Marshal Augustus, who was standing on the Huberian, the flagship of the Revolutionary Army Fleet, watched all this through the monitor of the battleship, and silently mourned for these pathetic thieves.

This place is very far away from Slane, the home planet of Tal'darin. The Tal'darin Protoss established an outpost at this location must be for purposes other than marking territory or expansion.

"There are a lot of Tadarin protoss on this asteroid. They seem to be the orthodox Tadarin rather than the expeditionary forces of the fanatic Nion who were expelled from the home planet Slane." Augustus looked at Huber Main screen on the bridge of the Lianne: "This seems to be more than just an ordinary outpost."

"It won't be long before we can figure it out," said Raynor, in the general's uniform.

At this moment, the bridge of the Hyperion was suddenly illuminated by the light released by the Protoss Fleet's main guns, and the blue-white flames that bloomed tore a path in the entire small star belt for small fleets to pass through. A large amount of punctured rubble was annihilated in the beam or thrown into the depths of the asteroid belt.

An assault fleet composed of reconnaissance planes, dark templar corsair fighter planes and shuttle planes was like a sharp sword piercing the asteroid belt in the flash of the jump force field, and they immediately fought against the roaring Tadarin fighter planes Intense confrontation.

Although they left Aiur long after the cataclysm, Tal'darin's warplanes still resemble those of the Protoss Empire.

The gorgeous and ferocious Tadarin protoss fighters were destroyed one after another under the joint attack of the fighters of the prosthetic empire and the dark templar, turning into flickering flames.

Under the order of Augustus, the Hyperion followed Tassadar's flagship Star Shuttle deep into the interior of the asteroid belt, and nearly 200 Wraith fighters from several Revolutionary Air Force Wings were escorting the battleship convoy.

Explosions followed, beams from the Tal'darin outpost's particle beam cannon swept across the rocks of the asteroid belt, only to be silenced by the more intense protoss artillery fire.

By the time Augustus boarded the asteroid where the Tadalin outpost was located on the Imp transport ship, a large number of protoss templars and dark templars had already occupied half of the asteroid and entered the tower. In Darling's base.

"Tadalin's fighters are fierce and powerful, don't let anyone slip through the net." Augustus walked to the gangway of the transport ship and gave instructions to the units directly under the Revolutionary Guards Division and Renault's ranger mobile infantry units.

In this battle, the assistance of Augustus' Human Revolutionary Army is just icing on the cake, and the templar and dark templar are the absolute main force.

"Yes, sir."

The revolutionary army's elite looters, rocket infantry and Goliath mechs in heavy armor followed the templar troops who were charging under the cover of heavy firepower. Among them, the soldiers in dark gray heavy armor could be seen Lord Tadarin led his high-ranking fighters to fight against dark templars who were dozens of times stronger than himself.

Known for their strength and ferocity, Tal'darin warriors refuse to surrender to their enemies even when faced with hostile forces.

During the battle, a dark black Tadarim colossus appeared. It crossed the dark spire of the Tadarim building complex, appeared in the red light of the high-temperature heat gun, and appeared in the hot, sweeping high-temperature plasma. In the stream, the high wall vaporized, and the protoss templars on the ground were wiped out in the beam of light.

"Get rid of that monster." Augustus noticed that there was a figure on the top of the colossus, which was a high-level Tadarin ascendant who was tightly connected to it through chains, and the huge colossus seemed to be his aloof car.

Around this Tal'darin ascender stood several ragged Tadarim dead disciples, and they would sometimes inexplicably turn into a torrent of red energy that merged into the ascender's body.

As the Taldarin Colossus took its toll on the Protoss army, a swarm of Dark Templar corsair warplanes aimed at it, under the green flashes of the void medium and the indiscriminate bombardment of neutron weapons, The Tal'darin Protoss ascendant piloting the Colossus had to fall back.

At that time, one of Raynor's troops had already rushed into the Tadarin base, and there was some kind of strange and frightening roar mixed in the huge sound they sent back. The report about the indescribable creature made Augustus His expression became more serious than ever.

　Yesterday, when tiles were being laid at the door, there was a lot of noise, and I couldn't calm down.

　　The good news is, it's almost done.
